Well Rob, we've had this discussion once before, and you may not remember it, but, I do! Deer are indeed tough critters. I'm sure you've done everything you can to check and double check for this buck. I'd even bet you'll check some more! Keep you're chin up and hope to see him again.

Talondale, I agree with you word for word on your post that if it was some-one else, flames would be roaring. However,most of us don't know each other, we tend to form opinions based on peoples posts. Flames or lack of, are usually based on these opinions. Rob and I have disagreed on a few technical issues of the board management, but when it came down to hunting time, I'd sure welcome him and his ethics to go along with me.
